To me, winter seems like a bad thing in this song. It's always being mentioned when referred to the people the narrator doesn't wish to join. They're freezing and cold.
I think the song can be taken two ways:
Superstitious people are people who don't want to take risk. They sit there being afraid and ignoring the beauty of life b/c of their fear of it. The singer doesn't want to join them b/c he knows that things are okay that something as simple as the sun can make people happy. The very end of the song talks about the "others" again. They're missing out on life and dying off. You only get one life, one chance to live. "When you're gone, you're gone", so make the best of what time you have. Life is going to hurt regardless b/c it hurts for someone (everyone) and YOU'RE someone.
The other, more controversial interpretation:
The singer is denouncing religion. He's saying that the superstitious people need someone to protect them and keep track of them like children. This someone might mean God. But the singer doesn't believe in all that, he just believes in having fun and a good time, enjoying life to the fullest. He can't help but scream YEAH! at how happy he is.
